Assessment

Trainees will be assessed against the Teaching Standards leading to a recommendation of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Meeting the standards is a requirement for all trainee teachers, regardless of the ITT route. There will be an increasing amount of teaching and weekly observations as the year progresses. This will never be more than 80% of the timetable (during the final weeks of the summer term ) and starts with as little as a lesson a week. The standards form the basis for all on going assessments and judgements which are made regularly throughout the programme. Summative reports are written at identified points during the year.

Chepping View Primary Academy SCITT is responsible for monitoring the Trainee, along with the partnership schools. A successful year will lead to a final report and a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status for Primary (ages 5 to 11).

I'm so glad I went for the ‘Chepping View Training option’ rather than a university based programme as the daily lesson practice, combined with daily feedback from my school based mentor throughout the year, made my development feel rapid along with my confidence to teach well
